Over the past two days, Carlene and I have spent some wonderful hours chatting and enjoying the company of John and Sue Dixon in our whirlwind trip to California (where John and Sue presently live). In a matter of days we are off to New York to do some more book promoting; so more details of our trip (maybe with a photo or two) will be posted on our return to Australia...!!

John Dixon, Air Hawk and the Flying Doctor has arrived from the printer this morning. I have been getting a few queries lately from some keen Fans wondering when they will be getting their copy of the book. And I can quite understand the excitement: the end result - modesty aside for a moment! - is just wonderful! However, as the book is a dedication to John Dixon, the very first copy will be presented to John when Carlene and I visit the Great Man in the U.S of A. a little later this month. Once John has his copy, all pre-orders will be shipped around the globe! Yes: orders have come from the USA! From Italy! From Denmark! (And, of course, from Australia!) Comic-strip Fans from around world have been getting excited about the release of this Volume...! Let me share my excitement this morning, as I took the first batch from the Printers today...!
